I recognize that a person is a whole human being, not simply an identified problem, and is relating to the stresses and circumstances of the external and internal environment in the best way he or she knows how. Therapy focuses on reducing stresses and enhancing skills. I emphasize a practical, supportive nonjudgmental course of treatment. I provide techniques and skills to increase motivation, emotional management, anxiety reduction, effective communication, and a sense of self empowerment, pride and well-being. I work with adults, couples, children and families. My previous work in schools, hospitals, and in a variety of social and clinical agencies provides the immediate and the long-term perspective on problem behaviors.

I specialize in the complex dynamics of relationships. I have extensive experience working in healing a variety of relationships, parental-child, marriage, relationships, relationships with self, and even unhealthy relationships with substances.

I obtained my Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Argosy University, Honolulu. I am a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in the state of Hawaii and an International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am also a registered psychotherapist in the state of Colorado. I have worked with a variety of clients in the community and private settings across the country; integrating culture, belief exploration, and religious framework with psychotherapy.

I really enjoy working with women and men, ages 14 and older, who find themselves stuck, lost, or just out of place to help them connect with their inner knowing and "ride the wave" of the unknown as something new in their life unfolds. There are a lot of reasons for having these feelings, and my passion is to walk the path with someone who needs the support and challenge to live in a new way, to become more fully who they are.

I invite you to a 1/2 hour initial consultation to discuss your needs and how we might work together to see if we might be a good fit. Check out my website at www.beherenowcounseling.com.
